STARVING INDIANS.

Great Destitution Among the Cheyennes
MILES CITY, NJ. T., March 14.-Great
restitution exists among the Cheyennes
on the Rosebud and Tongur rivers. Agent
UpshaW last fall caused the Indian beef
cattle to be taken over to MAtIock's Fork,
on the Crow reservation, tt rec miles from
the Cheyenne agency. Nea ly all the cat
tie drifted back to their old range in
Wyoming. This actin resulted
most disastrouslY to the Cheyennes and
they have had no beef ra ions for six
weeks. In the early part If December,
1886, it is stated that the agent refused to
receive any more -four for the Indians
until needed for immediate consumption.
After the great snow storm of January l,
no -four could be hauled sixty-fve miles
to the agency. At that date the Chey-
ennes received their last ra;ions Of -four
and have had no beef. During the last
fifteen DAYS the Indians have been eating
dead ponies and what little NEST they got
from cattle that have died from starva-
ton near their camps. Ten Indian ba-
bies died because the mothers could not
furnish milk by reason of the want OF
food.

WHAT WOMEN MUST Do.
The Woes of Women as Painted by
Woman.

The Woes of Women as Painted by "a
Woman.
a woman, speaking of what is required
Of her sex, says in the Lowell Times:
A woman must wear No. boot on q
No. foot, and she must manage to dress
well, on Is cents a week. and she must be
vain, and she must be kind to the poor,
and she must go regularly to the Sewing
Society meetings, and be ready to dress
dolls and make tides and aprons for
church fairs. She must be good cook,
and must be able to "dO up'' her hus-
bands shirt so that the Chinese washer
woman would groan with envy and gnash
her teeth with the same holy passion at
sight of them.
She must always have the masculine
buttons of the family sewed on so that
they will never come off while in use,
and she must keep the family hosiery so
that nobody would ever mistrust there
were toes in the stockings while they are
on. She must hold herself in constant
readiness to find everything her husband
has lCst-as q man never knows where to
find anything. He will put his boots
carefully away on the parlOr sofa, and
when he has hunted for them half an
hour he will suddenly appear to his wife
with q countenance like an avenging
angel, and demand "What in the thunder
she has done with his boots" She must
shut all the doors after her lord and mas
ter, and likewise the bureau drawers, for
q married man was never known to shut
q drawer; it would be as unnatural as for
q hen to 60 in swimming for recreation.
She mustgo to bed first in cold weather
so as to get the bed warm. Her husband,
if he be wise man, never asks her to do
this. Oh, no! But he sits to 'just
finish this piece in the paper" and waits
until she has got the sheets to g comfort |
able temperature. An, there sre a great |
many tricks in the trade of living tOgeth- |
er, A woman is expected to take care of }
the baby, even after the first infautile |
wonder has multiplied into round half !
dozen. And if he doubles up with the !
collie or trials Of cutting teeth or the ne
cessary evils Of humps or measles and |
whooping cough and scarlet fever and
thrash and throat distemper and short I
sleeves and bare legs and pins sticking .
into him and too much candy and bad |
temper, why her husband tells her that !
he f'does wish she would try and quiet /
her baby" and he says it, too, as If he
thought she alone was responsible for its
being in existence, and if she was con-
to blame for it, too.
And when she has the headache nobody
thinks OF minding it-a woman's always
having the headache. And if she IS ner-
vous enough to fly nobody shuts the door
any Cuieter, and tucks her on the lounge
with shawl over her, or coddles her to
death as man has to be coddled under
such circumst stances.
We might go on indefinitely with the
troubles of being woman, and if there
Is man who thinks woman has an easy
time of it, why, just let him pin on
pound of false hair, and get inside pair
Of corsets, and put on pull back over !,
skirt, and be woman himself, and see
how he likes it.

a Chance to See Mercury.
Providence Journal, February "a.

IrOVlQenCe journal, FEBRUARY "a.
Mercury is evening star until March q g,
and after that time becomes morning star
On March 8, at II O'Clock in the evening
he reaches his greatest eastern elongation,
being 49, IA east of the sun. He is then
at his greatest distance from the sun, and
under the most favorable conditions that
will occur during the year for being seen
with the naked eye. Intelligent and care
full observers will be sure to find him, and
q sight of the sWift-footed planet is worth
all the trouble it costs. Mercury sets On
the 5th. an hour and half after the sun.
He must be looked for in the west, about
three-quarters of an hour sitter sunset,
and will be visible not only at his eastern
elOngatiOn on the 5th, but fer a week be-
fore and after that event; though swift of
foot and feet of wing, he changes his
position st every reappesra nee. Obser-
vers should note carefully The point Of
the horizon where the sun went down.
Mercury will be found on the 5th g north
of that point, and in a northeast direction
from the sun. Venus will he an excellent
guide in pointing out his position, for on
the 9Th she is less than s. southeast of
him. An opera glass sweeping the sky
northwest of Venus will be sure to bring
Mercury into the field, and his position
being thus fixed, he will be readily visible
to the unassisted eye. The western sky
must be cloudless and tn atmosphere
clear to make the search 81, Cessful.

RAINING BIRTHSTONE IN INDIANA,
Three Counties Covered Vita a Layer of
Something Like Sulphur

Something Like Sulphur
EVANSVILLE, IND, March Sat Prince
ton, on Sunday, severe rainstorm began
before daybreak and when the residents
arose they found the earth covered to the
depth Of an inch with yellow substance.
Doctors and chemists agree that it is a
vegetable formation of some kind. Por-
lions of it were sent to 4 scientist at Indi-
annapolis for analysis. Frank Blair made
partial analysis and says:
The substance possesses many of the
characteristics of sulphur. 1t is of a pale
yellow color, insoluble in water or alco-
hol, but fully soluble in oil of turpentine
and bisulphide of carbon. Only having a
small quantity Icould not make fire
test. When allowed to crystalline out Of
a solution of bi-sulphide of carbon and
placed under microscope it is found to
be composed of small round bodies,
which, magnitied thirty diameters, have
the appearance of mustard seeds, and
differ from ordinary -four sulphur. II is
probably Of volcanic origin and this is
borne out by the recent discovery of for
elgn products in this city thought 20 be
eruptive bodies.
Reports from various other quarters of
the district to-day are to the effect that
the phenomenon has been general in the
counties Of Warrick, Spencer and Pike.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE .
a Battle Said to Have Been Fought IN

The State militia have discovered that
hunting Indians is no picnic their marches
having been long ami tiresmne over
rough country and without much to eat.
A report reached Denver Saturday That
there had been battle between Kendall IS
men and band of Indians on the 25th in
which Jack Ward, deputy sheriff, and
eight Indians were killed. The diff renee
in the II, mber of casualties seems
improbable but if it should prove true, the
Indians will doubtless seek revenge by
